support for periodic/cyclic messages/frames

[Bourass]

Hi,

You will also find timer examples in our source code examples for PCANBasic, used for CAN_Read(). You can also use those timer for CAN_Write().

i did not find any timer used for CAN_Read(), can you please show me this timer in the read function and how can i adapt it to Write function?

Thanks

Hello,

i did not find any timer used for CAN_Read()

and how did you look for it? Each PCAN-Basic sample has implemented reading with timer, with events and manually. Everything you need is in the samples. You just need to study the code and understand it. We cannot do this for you.

For instance, here is an image of the PCAN-Basic sample project for C#:

Timer control for reading with PCAN.-Basic

The code for it looks like:

Code: Select all

private void tmrRead_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{ 
    // Checks if in the receive-queue are currently messages for read
    // 
    ReadMessages();
}

how can i adapt it to Write function?

Just create a new timer and write messages instead of reading them, in the timer function.

Using this timer can i send many frames periodically or not?
